If you have been accepted as participant, we will ask you to look for the least expensive bus / train / airplane tickets from your hometown to Budapest and from Belgrade to your hometown. For flights, you will need to use the multi-destination option to get the best deals on internet travel sites such as Expedia. If you have not done this before, we recommend you use Expedia.
* Should you wish to arrive early or stay longer, please make these arrangements yourself - we are a small team and have our hands full with the CSA preparations. For contact information for hotels, go to csa2017centropa.org.
* Requirements: a pre-trip assignment, described in the registration form we will send to those accepted; readings (articles, and one book).
* Kosher meals. We will be happy to provide kosher meals for those who require it. Due to the higher cost of kosher food and the staff time needed to make sure it is delivered, etc, the kosher food surcharge will be approximately €20 per day (these were the costs on previous Summer Academies).
